Humana released their most recent group updates highlighting extended group deadline dates due to the holiday and longer lead times for new business quoting, see below.

Holiday Deadline Extension for 7/1

New Business Submissions:

Launch My Group (LMG) – For 7/1/24 effective date, the user must click submit in LMG by 7/10/24 and electronic documents must be signed as soon as possible after submission.

Small Group Sales – 7/1/24 effective date cases must be submitted by 7/10/24.

Please note – cases submitted to sbsales@humana.com will see significantly longer timeframes from submission to group number.

Existing Business Submissions:

Launch My Group – For 7/1/24 effective date, the user must click submit in LMG by 7/10/24 and electronic documents must be signed as soon as possible after submission.

Paper Plan Add/Changes (submitted through beclericals@humana.com) – 7/1/24 effective date cases must be submitted by the EOD 7/10/24.

Longer Lead Time for Small Group (2-99) New Business Quoting

Historically, we allowed quoting approximately 75 days out, but we are now extending that an additional 60 days. By extending the effective date options for new business, we will better meet the needs of our customers and limit rework for sales and quoting.

What does it look like?

With this change, currently, you will be able to select an effective date of 7/1, 8/1, 9/1, 10/1, or 11/1.

Previously you would have only seen 7/1, 8/1, and 9/1.

On the 12th of each month (or the business day following the 12th should it fall on a weekend or holiday), we will extend the next available effective date for quoting.
